Decoding nociceptor-DC dialogues
Neuro-immune interactions link physiological and immune responses in host defense. Hanč et al.1 report that nociceptors attract dendritic cells (DCs) via the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), initiate a “sentinel” DC program via the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and enhan...

Summary: | Neuro-immune interactions link physiological and immune responses in host defense. Hanč et al.1 report that nociceptors attract dendritic cells (DCs) via the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), initiate a “sentinel” DC program via the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and enhance DC inflammatory responses through direct connections. These neuroimmune units integrate nociceptors’ rapid responsiveness with DCs’ immune coordination, functioning as an advanced warning system.
